Validator Class Breeze.sharp
Subclassed instances of the Validator class provide the logic to validate another object and provide a description of any errors encountered during the validation process. They are typically associated with a 'validators' property on the following types: EntityType, DataProperty or NavigationProperty. A number of property level validators are registered automatically, i.e added to each DataProperty.Validators property based on DataProperty metadata. For example, DataProperty.MaxLength -> MaxLengthValidator DataProperty.IsNullable -> RequiredValidator (if not nullable)

Remarks
Validators are by convention immutable - if this convention is violated your app WILL break. You can use 'With' methods to create new Validators based on an existing validator. For example, to change the message you might do the following: var newValidator = new RequiredValidator().With(new LocalizedMessage("foo"));
